'Trip, trap; trip, trap! went the bridge. 'WHO'S THAT tripping over my bridge? roared the Troll. 'Oh! it is only I, the tiniest billy-goat Gruff; and I'm going up to the hill-side to make myself fat', said the billy-goat, with such a small voice. 'Now, I'm coming to gobble you up', said the Troll. 'Oh, no! pray don't take me.

The dogs were not fed anything, experience having taught us that dogs will work better with hope for a reward in the future than when it is past.

When the stench became absolutely unbearable, she found herself face to face with a little boy who sported the tiniest nose she could have imagined. It was about the same size as that of a ladybug. His feet, on the other hand, were enormous. "Who are you?" asked the lad.
There seemed just now the tiniest twinkle of movement by the rushes, but it was lost among the hedge parsley.
